Hi Timo,
Couple comments:
1. I really like the way that the global profile and project profile
are linked together. But it also introduce an out of sync issue.
Say I use a profile compiled my project with one set of toolchain and
sysroot setup. Then I change the toolchain and sysroot settings for
the profile. But unless we inform/enforce the user to rebuild the
project with the new profile settings. The built out in the project
directory is using one set of setting, but by looking at the project
profile setting is another set. So, I think we need to add a
notification to user like we're doing for "remove". When user change
a profile and if there're projects using the profile, we need to
prompt the user with something like: "The profile settings have been
changed and there're projects using this profile which will be
impacted. If you want to pursue the changes, please rebuild those
projects with the new profile settings". And in those projects, we
need a sign the inform the user that the underline profile has
changed, they need to rebuild to resync. Make sense?
Yes, makes sense. I haven't thought about this. Maybe I can also set the
"dirty" flag on those projects, so they're automatically reconfigured
when the build is started.
2. Seems we only allow user to choose profiles in project settings,
can eliminate those grayed out "save as...", "remove", etc buttons?
The idea was to reuse the code from the global settings, but you're
right, it would make sense to get rid of these button here as they are
never activated.
3. Also since the profile are really cross development setting
profiles. Can we change "Target profile" to "Cross development
profile"?
Sure, this should be an easy one. I'll make the changes in the next
version of the patch set.
Thanks, Jessica

target profiles for projects

Hi,
this patch set enables projects to make use of the target profiles
proposed in "[RFC v4 00/17][eclipse-poky] Storing yocto settings as
target profiles".
Currently the target profiles are only used to determine the default
settings when creating a new project. Changing the used profile on an
already created projects is not possible, also if the target profile
is changed the projects are not affected. This patch set enables the
use of target profiles in the projects. You can select the used
global profile within the projet properties or use a project specific
configuration. If a global target profile is used and its values are
changed in the eclipse preferences, the projects using this profile
are updated accordingly.
Best regards Timo
Thanks for the comments,
Timo
